Three Whitehall students head to national skills competition

The Whitehall-Coplay School Board recognized three district students who attend Lehigh Career & Technical Institute for their achievements during the SkillsUSA competition this school year.

Kim Phung, Genelle Davenport and Madison Jacob placed first in Industrial Motor Controls, Medical Math, and Photography competitions respectively, in the state of Pennsylvania. The three will move on to compete nationally in Kansas City on June 24.

"We are so delighted to have these students here tonight," Superintendent John Corby said. "They're at LCTI but they're also Whitehall students, and to take first in the state is an incredible accomplishment in itself."
